there was something in the intent look
Of his deep-set eye, his corrugated

For one Of his sedentary habits, he

large boxes at the end Of each session

only to be returned at the beginning OF

nearly five hundred pounds eacl and
were difficult to handle in passages and

GREAT TELESCOPES.


Why They Are of More Service to Science
Than Small Instruments.
It is frankly to be admitted that for
ordinary work enormous instruments
are not advantageous; those Of moder-
ate dimensions will do far more easily
and rapidly the work for which they
are capable. It would be poor. econo-
my to shoot squirrels with fifteen-inch
cannon. Observers with smaller in
stA1ment, if they have sharp eyes and
use them faithfully, can always find
enough to do and do it we'll. But the
great telescope has two advantages
which are decisive In the first place.
it collects more light, and so makes it
possible to use higher magnifying pow.
ers, and thus virtually to draw nearer
to the object studied than we can with
the smaller one; and, in the next place,
in consequence Of what is known as
"difraction, the image of luminous
point made by a large lens is smaller
and sharper than that made by a small
one. The smaller the telescope the
larger are the so-called "spurious
disks of a star, SO that in the case OF
a close double star. for instance, where
our nine-inch telescope shows only an
oval disk, the twenty-three inch shows
two fine distinctly separated points. Ii
is true that the atmospheric disturb
anccs, which always prevail to a great
cr or less extent, very seriously affect
the seeing" with large instruments.

which is to an astronomer the very
type of the "total depravity

telescope of much Of its just superior.
ity, so that on an ordinary night q good
observer with au aperture Of twelve
OF fifteen inches can make out all that
can be fairly seen with twenty-four or
thirty inches at the same time. Ant;
yet the writer has continually verified
in his experience the observation OF

If the seeing is bad; immensely better
if it is good. But when a really good
night comes, as once in :. while it does.
then to a great telescope heaven opens,
new worlds appear, old illusions art
dissipated, and observations and meas
urenents before beyond the reach OF
human skill become possible, easy and
accurate. In fact, the reasonabless OF
wanting still larger telescopes is iden-
tically the same as that of wanting a
telescope at all. Of course, it is i'll
possible to predict what discoveries
will be made with the great Lick tele-
scope when it is erected on its noun
tain Of priviiege--yery likely none. II
is not possible now TO go out at night,

flowers in forest. But we may be
sure Of this, that it will collect data,

difficulties, will clear up doubts, will
advance our knowledge, and,
what is still more important, will pre-
pare the way. and hew the steps fol

Catholics as Citizens. :.

If The Catholic citizen acts consistently
With his religious principles ne will be
,he model Of political virtue to his fell
low citizens. He will show that he con
slders the proper performance of bis
duty as u citizen q sacred obligation.
Il he is e poor man, no matter how
tempting the offer Of money or other
consideration for his vote may be, he
must know that its acceptance is crime
against the state, but a crime against
ais religion as we'll.
Ii he is a rich man, and takes adyan-
tage ct the necessities of the poor, and
by all offer Of money or by intimidation,
induces CT coerces votes, he must be
ln!]y aware that he himself is far more
guilty tl,an the deluded aud unfortunate
victim Of his corruption.
Ii he Id a public official, into whose
hands the people have committed the
custody d the public welfare and ii G
enforcement Of onr laws, the bribe-tak-
ing yatholic ought to know that, deep as
may be The disg1ace thus brought upon
himself, and great as may be the injury
to tbs community, they are tritling
when conpagad to the euormitv Of such
crimes in the eyes OF his Church and of
his God.
70 speak plain}y, no man, whatever
may be bis name and pretensions, can
be guilty Of such acts as these and be
practical Cutiiolie.
As q matter Of fact, those nominal
Catholics wllo perpe'rate them scarcely
ever enter the doors ot g church or pre-
tend to practice their religion. Their
only use for it is to masquerade behind
it for their own base political purpose.
Catholic citizens whose consciences
are guided by their religion and who
love tie institutions Of our country
should loose no time in calling to their
aid men OF integrity and intelligence,
and, uniting with every honorable
movement, seek to purify the public
morals Of our great cities and restore to
them siaat good name which l,as beer so

DRESS WELL, NOT GAUDY.

Why Every Woman Should Array Herself
in Neat and Tasty Garments.
1.-The day will soon come" says a
well-kDown leader of fashion, ''when it
will no longer be a slur on a good wo-
man, old Or young, to say she thinks a
good deal Of dress; she attaches enol.-
nous Importance to nsthetics" While
it remains good motive to give others
pleasure and spare them disagreeablo
shocks, the rule must hold good in
every department Of life. "The day
will soon come when it shall be recog-
nized duty to conceal what is offensive,
when slight deforl1ities Of limb and
skin shall be avowcdly disguised by art
and great and startling defornlities
shall cease TO disgrace our public
streets. It is one of the duties of life
to grease the wheels on which We drive
as far as ever that is consistent with
other duties, and most people must
Judge for themselves how far that is.
''it is as e.sy to dress we'll Us i'll,
since dress we must. Absolute uncon-
possible to any woman, since every eye
tells her unbidden; therefore, indifter-
ence to appearance is inculoated. 1t is
natural to wish to please in all ways by
kindness and q pleasant manner-or,
at least, not to displcase. How deli
cately Goldsmith distinguishes his two
types Of innocent and admirable We
manhood! Differently lovely, Olivia
was often affected from too great q de-
sire to please; Sophie even repressea

one vanquished by a single blow, the
other by efforts successfully repeated
every beautiful women are seldom
vain. They are so used to their own
beauty that they do not think much
about it, any more than {. man thinks
much about bis rank or profession when
not engaged il his duties. The vain
woman is the one who has been un~
fairly tisparaged. Undue self-con-
sciousness is the revolt against injustice
and like all reyolts is disagreeable.
We're all women acknowledged to have
each her points, personal as we'll as
and allowed to cultivate them
in a sensible and simple spirit, there
would be less envy and malice, less
vanity and wasted time, and more in
nocent pleasure throughout life. But
